Two of the world's most respected and influential hard rock bands, MASTODON and CLUTCH, announce The Missing Link Tour, which brings together both bands as they join forces along with special guests GRAVEYARD and BIG BUSINESS - each taking part of the tour as support. Together, this night of heavy rock will be one of the heaviest and most exciting concert events of the year.

The Missing Link Tour kicks off on April 16th in St. Paul, MN. with support provided by BIG BUSINESS, who recently supported MASTODON throughout a sold-out European tour. Sweden's GRAVEYARD will then take over the main support slot starting in Los Angeles on April 29th for the remaining dates, closing out the tour in Columbus, OH on May 24th. Tickets are on sale now.

The Missing Link Tour will feature full sets from both MASTODON and CLUTCH. CLUTCH will close the show on April 24th in Vancouver, May 10th in Pittsburgh, May 15th in Bethlehem, May 16th in Baltimore and also the final night of the tour, May 24th in Columbus. MASTODON will close all other shows.

CLUTCH drummer Jean-Paul Gaster had this to say about the tour."We are very much looking forward to our US tour with our friends in MASTODON. We always enjoy playing live but when we have the opportunity to share the stage with a band as inspiring as MASTODON we know each evening will be that much more special. See ya out there!"
